Fan CastingBLUE MIDNIGHT (2031)

Set in 1950s Los Angeles, Blue Midnight follows Julian Cross a legendary but troubled jazz pianist at the peak of his fame. Julian’s brilliance is matched only by his self-destructive tendencies, stemming from a lifetime of regrets and broken relationships. His world changes when he meets Elliot Reed, a fiery young saxophonist with boundless talent and ambition. Julian takes Elliot under his wing, mentoring him as their jazz band embarks on a historic tour. However, their relationship grows turbulent as Julian’s perfectionism and personal demons clash with Elliot’s drive for innovation and independence. Amidst the chaos, Julian attempts to reconcile with his estranged daughter, Sylvia, while grappling with the ghosts of his past, including a failed love affair with singer Lena Fields. The film builds to a climactic performance of Julian’s magnum opus, Blue Midnight, which forces him to confront the cost of his genius. As Julian’s legacy comes full circle, Elliot begins to rise as the next great figure in jazz, carrying forward both the brilliance and the burdens of his mentor.
